The Nice Guys (2016) Review | FilmGamesEtc

FGE - The Nice Guys is a nice call back to the buddy cop movies of the 80’s, albeit with a more comedic flair than that of Shane Black’s first buddy cop film, Lethal Weapon. Generally in buddy cop films, the audience is treated to a fast paced guns blazing affair with partners that are almost polar opposites, and The Nice Guys is no different. What differentiates this film from the more recent slew of buddy cop films that have been released is that we are taken back to an earlier time when being a private eye meant doing your own dirty work and not being able to find out everything about someone on Facebook.
